The 20 Somethings Show | EP 03 – Transition from Childhood, Teenage-hood to Adulthood

The transition from childhood to adulthood in Nigeria is a journey marked by personal discovery, heartbreaks, mistakes, wins, and plenty of growing pains.

Childhood: The Simpler Days

We start by reflecting on the innocence of childhood — the days when your biggest worry was whether your mum would let you eat Indomie before dinner. This episode brings back the nostalgia, yet lays the foundation for how this phase shaped who we are today.

Teenage Years: The Confusion Begins

Teenagehood comes with rebellion, emotional highs, and many unexplainable feelings. Guests share personal stories of confusion, peer pressure, changing bodies, and trying to fit in — especially in a Nigerian context.

Adulthood in Nigeria comes with cultural baggage — from being pressured to marry before 30 to carrying family responsibilities at 21. The show boldly discusses how Yoruba and broader Nigerian expectations shape how we grow.
